SHUTTLE-SLIDE FOR SEWING-MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,849, dated June 9, 1885.

Application filed February 10, 1885. (No model) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HANS REIss, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jersey City,

in the county of Hudson and State of New J ersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shuttle-Slides for Sewing-Machines, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the acoompanying drawings.

My invention relates to that class of sewingmachincs in which the shuttle is driven back and forth in a straight race, the object of my invention being to improve the construction and lessen the friction of the slide by which the shuttle-driver is carried.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a bottom view of a Singer sewing-machine embodying my invention; and Fig. 2 is a section of the same on the line 2 2, Fig. 1.

A indicates the balanced crank on the lower end of the vertical shaft a, and B the pitman connecting said crank with the slide 0, which latter carries the shuttle-driver D. The slide 0 is provided withafiange or tongue, 0, fitting easily in a groove in a guiding-rib, E, formed on the bottom of the bed-plate F. A removable sustaining-plate, 6, holds the slide in-position. The tongue on the shuttle-slide,working in the groove of the rib E, serves to steady said slide when in operation, and it has been found that there is in practice much less friction with this form of slide than with the forms of slides heretofore in use in this class of machines.

I claim as my invention The combination, with a sewing-machine bed-plate having a grooved rib on its under side, of a shuttle-slide having a tongue on its upper side adapted to work in the groove of said rib, and a removable supporting-plate below said slide for holding the latter in place, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HANS REISS.
